Steps needed to calculate your savings at the grocery store.
Step 1: First look on your receipt either at the top or bottom for the amount you saved today. It will say something like " Savings today", " Saved" . This is your (saved) number.
Step 2: Value:This is what you would have spent, if you did not use any coupons. To get this (value) number, you take what you saved and add it with what you spent. The (value) is the actual or real value of the groceries you purchased that day.
